I'm sorry, i really dont want to read all this posts, but i just want to ask you guys something: I am the only one who thinks that the idea of the Space Jockey be a giant dude with a elephant trunk on the face instead of a nose, just ridiculous?
Its not hard to notice that, most of the Aliens fans turned to be really anger with Ridley by revealing that the SP dont have a trunk, that its actually the suit...and that the Engineers on Prometheus are smaller than the one in Alien. And that i really cant tell, I do not see much difference in their size....for me they are all big though.
it could just be a diference like we all humans share. Some guys are bigger than others, some are smaller, and etc. Maybe the SP was like a big and strong guy like
But i really dont know much about it as most of you guys, i dont have the two movies to start to compare and to analyze though (lol)
But the thing is that i really dont care about their size, if the Engineers are smaller or not. They continue to be big, and that is what its important to me. They are the Gods, our creators, most advanced, most evolved, bigger than us. Gods like creatures, are Gods. They must be bigger then us. Its just like a symbolic thing, know. And, the fact that they are big, and they really look like us (the face and all) is something even more symbolic, to represent the fact that they are our Gods, we came from them, superior beings (the "bigger" thing fits here).
And i really like that. I really would hate if they had some elephant trunk on the face, would destroy all this magic.
And i know, i know, they are not THAT big, it could be greater, but still, it was ok.
and sorry by my english, i really hope you guys understand my post, lol. This forum is really helping me to work it out, i still suck to write, google helped me on this hahahahaha
bye people.
